Religions (ISSN 2077-1444) is an international, open access scholarly
journal publishing peer-reviewed studies of religious thought and practice.
It is available online to promote critical, hermeneutical, historical, and
constructive conversations. It aims to serve the interests of a wide range of
thoughtful readers and academic scholars of religion, as well as theologians,
philosophers, social scientists, anthropologists, psychologists,
neuroscientists and others interested in the multidisciplinary study of
religions.

MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see "2010 Newly Released Impact Factors",
